The headline says it all. Germany's iversity launched it's first set of courses today; you can find the English descriptions on its website. I've added iversity to the MOOC.ca list of providers (which is getting quite large). iversity's starting courses include (as quoted from TechCrunch):
- The Future of Storytelling by the Fachhochschule (University of Applied Sciences) Potsdam — with more than 27,000 enrollments
- Design 101 (or Design Basics), offered by the Academia de Belle Arti in Catania, has 17,000 enrolled students
- Public Privacy: Cyber Security and Human Rights by the Humboldt Viadrina School of Governance in Berlin — with 16,000 students enrolled
Of course, the subscription numbers are more reflective of marketing than value; the truer test will be over time to see how well it can sustain the momentum.
